Mats – Tim’s nephew who mainly grew up in Stockholm had visited us for a week. Mats has recently started to study IT technolgies in Sweden. He and Tim were thus interested in exploring the marvelous Blender software. Tim watches closely Blender’s open movie project “Tears of steel”, which looks like a lot of fun. The clip “trolley ease” – (or in german: “wie wird man einen Kofer los?”) is a result of Mats’ visit to Berlin. It is partially inspired by Tim’s commuting adventures.

Since randform is an english language blog there are actually not too many german randform readers. That is, according to our blog statistics, alone the readers from Ukraine and Russia usually exceed on average our german readership (I don’t know though how much of that should be attributed to bots). So I would like to ask the typical randform reader to excuse this blog post here which is completely about some special kind of clinch with german social politics.
After the klick a short english intro about what the post is about and then a rather long text in german, which – as I was notified by german officials – is too hard to understand for unbiased third parties.
